Before doing any termite treatment, I suggest going to the Florida Dept. of Agriculture website and search "termite control"

I am from North Calif. and anytime a home was sold a termite inspection was required. You could see the termite fumigation tents spring up. I must say I have never seen a tented house here in the 14 years I have been here.

Tenting a house is not a treatment for subterranean termites. Subterranean termites are eliminated by drilling holes around the perimeter of the house and pumping chemicals into the soil. Tenting is a treatment process for an entirely different type of termite or other pests. In the South, subterranean termites are a problem. But, if you want to save money, then it is your decision and right to refuse to pay for the treatment and just take your chances.
